Visa policy of Armenia

Armenia allows citizens of specific countries and territories to visit Armenia for tourism or business purposes without having to obtain a visa or allows them to obtain a visa on arrival or online. For some countries the visa requirement waiver is practiced on ad hoc basis, and is not formalized by a bilateral agreement.

Holders of all other national passports and travel documents, including United Nations Laissez-Passer, are required to obtain an entry visa. To make the process of obtaining an Armenian visa easy and convenient, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has introduced an E-Visa.[9] Alternatively, visas are issued in diplomatic missions and consular posts of the Republic of Armenia or upon arrival at the border crossing points of the Republic of Armenia (conventional visas).

Nationals of the following countries require invitations to obtain entry visas and thus have to apply for these at embassies or consulates overseas before travelling. They cannot receive their visa on arrival at the border.[10]
